How to Launch an Awesome Kickstarter Campaign. DART suggests the optimal title of a project contains between 40 and 60 characters, including spaces and punctuation. Statistical support around description length revealed a sweet spot that creators may want to stick to.
Descriptions should contain between 75 and words for the greatest chance of success. This suggests that even the most well thought out and meticulously planned projects could fail compared to a campaign with a more concise pitch.
The type of venture you plan to fund also has a statistical level of success on Kickstarter. Creators starting a campaign to fund a dance production, theater performance, music project, comic or art venture enjoy a success rate over 50 percent.
On the other hand, projects in tech, crafts and design run just a 39 percent chance of success or lower on average. DART recognized the success of these projects may likely be influenced by their goals. Campaigns for tech, craft and design ventures normally aim to raise far more — and thus a lower chance of success — compared to dance or theater performances that often require smaller sums of money to cover bare minimum production costs.

This is something Kickstarter is great for — focusing on a specific group of customers. A massive achievement, and a testament to the power of an effective project. Curious already? What made this project unique was the idea behind it.
It became a global sensation. A slightly more traditional product idea now. David Jones and Michael Armani grew their idea out of their love of 3D printers when they were in college. The company, named M3D, now makes and ships great tiny printers in fun colors all over the world. Created by cartoonist Matthew Inman, this card game was the fastest-funded campaign at the time it was released in The first version of the card game was suitable for the whole family, but later on, the NSFW version was released, which built on the success of the original.
The game is based around funny cartoon pictures of cats and has since expanded to different variations on the original game. There is even now an app version of the game. Since the success of the Kickstarter campaign, the company has printed and sold over 5 million decks of cards, and have expanded their operation from the small, backyard-based business they were in Inman has since become an internet hero, having gained global attention with the absurd, cat-themed card game. This unique video game was created by Keiji Inafune — the creator of Megaman.
It is a classic, retro-style Japanese side-scrolling video game, based around a little robot named Beck. This amazing campaign took on a life of its own. Photographer Mark Tuschman spent a decade photographing women in developing countries to catalog their experiences and highlight the lack of control they have over their own lives and bodies.
The moving images became incredibly popular, and many requested that a book be made of them. Seeing others have success is giving you a motivational boost. But is that enough for you to actually have success with your crowdfunding campaign?
